ORION WARNING: Yarik вот камрады помогут если чо. A trip through every aspect of everything thats cool about underground drug-rock from the head-spinning Satanic Psychedelia of Patterns of Evil through to the NWOBHM on LSD churning of Turn Off Your Mind, Black Masses is the album Electric Wizard always threatened to make. Its here, and listening to the end of the world was never meant to sound this good!

Honcho: Ревью нового альбома от http://www.metalteamuk.net/ Artist: Electric Wizard Title: Black Masses Type: Album Label: Rise Above (Tarot) cards on the table: I know that there are some who still long for the days or 'Come My Fanatics' or 'Supercoven', but much as I have a place for those sludge drone days, for me 'Dopethrone' was always the spiteful, drug addled magnum opus for the Wizard. So now, very post the split that gave us two fine bands, and with Ramesses well along their own divergent path of inspiration, what for Electric Wizard? 'We Live' was very much a struggle to find their new feet and 'Witchcult Today' a return to form and a nasty slice of 70s horror but of a distinctly qualified one still lacking something, somewhere, in their black soul. Worrying times maybe? With song titles that read like a bad dream flashing past tattered posters of 70s horror and exploitation flicks, Black Masses is a house of doors you're not sure if you should open. Our entrance to this album is via 'Black Mass'. It rumbles slowly to life, sleep deprived anger building before one of those riffs that Jus Oborn seems able to conjure from smoke and tar rises up and proceeds to pummel you into narcotic insensibility. Theres a worrying urgency to the sound they create; a riff with real craving, a serious jones that pushes you over then drags you down into a black vortex of drug fuelled satanic mania with Oborn's distinctive, strained and echoing vocals the perfect psychotic narrator; part doped out junkie priest, part tortured victim. A flattening, hypnotic, wonderful opener. Suddenly I really dare to think that this might be something special. The thing about Electric Wizard, with the whole wave of 70s styled occult rock surfacing these days is that their vibe and spirit is a lot more intense, more genuine; it's like a teeth jarring acid flashback rather than some cosy recreation. It's their mind not the clothes they wear. Their 70s is the strung out drug paranoia nightmare end to the 60s: Hippies who once danced in sunlit fields waking in dark shit-stained squats scraping for the last dregs of that sticky black tar in the pipe with their torn, filthy fingernails. Altamont not Woodstock. Their music is a never ending spiral of bad acid trips and ragged edged violence, of excoriating Luciferian nightmare leads that pulsate and loop in a monomaniacal fug of downtuned, fuzzed out speaker splitting riffs. 'Venus In Furs' highlights, with a shaky handheld torch, the way the grimy engine of the band can keep the riff whirlpool going while hallucinatory guitar work unravels and wanders, snaps and slashes like blood red nails. You can't raise this kind of monumental idol if it is built on sand; so kudos to the rhythm section of new acolyte Tas and Shaun Rutter who are like the iron bolting down the madman to the floor of his cell but still allowing him to scream and flail his arms. The production here is full and darkly bright but never slick; it has allowed the Wizard to re-discover that sludge drenched lower sound. And how! There's a whole new bottom end to Black Masses: bass filling out the sump with a fatter sound that will find any crack in your speakers and rupture them, and the basement depth bulldozer riffs are back dragging their carcass across the stained floor like a body in a sack. With the guitars of Jus and Liz working so perfectly together this is Witchcult Today sucked back into the misanthropic, hate fuelled squat where the Wizard belong. It's the way the repetition underpinning the swirling riffs and leads keeps you utterly trapped that is the unhinged talent at work. From the evil, stalking drumbeats in Night Child and its haunting refrain “under the black sun” to the circling riffs in 'Under Scorpio' this is a mesmerising headfuck of an album. Once inside these black mazes there is such a shocking array of colour and pain and deeper dimensions to explore. Leads dissolve into distortion and loop back through feedback to twisted melody on paths that just shouldn't be accessible but are. Satyr IX, a 10 minute bad trip, crawls in with and ugly beautiful thick riff that allows some truly haunting guitar lines to fall into chaos, only to be pulled back out by its lank hair before lumbering onwards. The vocals turn from enticing to pure spite but by then, of course, the way out is gone. Ending in a dark, writhing 8 minute instrumental of storm crashes and riffs and noise, pinned down by solemn, sparse drums, 'Crypt Of Drugula' is as close to a comedown as you get here. This is the sound of a touring band made so tight beneath its crusted exterior that it can repeatedly take things way over the edge, make the tracks seem on the verge drug psychosis collapse only to bend them back to the god of riff. If 'Witchcult Today' had a fault in sound it was being too... polished. A relative term I grant you, but this bastard was left in a ditch for months and came out a reeking black corroded beast. It's absolutely fucking joyous to hear a band pulling this shit out, especially when you weren't really, in your heart, expecting it. Yeah it's that good. What you have to remember is that there is a world of difference between an album that because of a combination of timing, attitude and stunning sound has a door flattening impact throughout the scene, and an album that has no timing and simply is. 'Dopethrone' was impact, 'Black Masses' with no filler and revelling in its own nightmare timewarp world is simply a stand alone masterwork. For me, album of the year so far. Electric Wizard, still kaning it harder. http://www.myspace.com/electricwizarddorsetdoom Gizmo

Vincent Is a Parasit: http://www.doommantia.com/2010/10/electric-wizard-black-masses.html Electric Wizard are back! Their seventh full-length album for Rise Above Records and this doesn't disappoint at all. It is no surprise that Electric Wizard are legends within the Doom Metal scene as their albums are among the heaviest ever recorded, some say the HEAVIEST. Whenever you get a band like this, recording some of the most classic Doom Metal albums ever, most notably "Come My Fanatics" and "Dopethrone" there is always going to be pressure placed on them to match those recordings. This can be very unfair of course but Electric Wizard have always done a damn good job over the years at remaining consistent. The last full length, "Witchcult Today" released in late 2007 show the band still had what it takes and despite some reviewers claiming it was a patchy effort it still climbed to the top record list of many people in 2007 and its pretty obvious this album will do the same. A couple of elements on this album stand out, one is the progression in the songwriting that EW display on "Black Masses", while they are still as heavy as ever, Jus Oborn and his cult show they have refined their style somewhat as the songs flow better than ever before. The other outstanding feature is the musicianship, Electric Wizard have never been the most technical band on the planet and they still are far from it but the skill level has increased dramatically on this album. Riffs seems more precise and focused and the band as a whole seem to be locked into a tighter groove than ever before. The last element worth mentioning is the production, they still have that total analog, vintage sound but this time around, the production can only be described as "sleazy". If it is possible to make a sound that is like a smoke-filled room, they have done it with "Black Masses", the songs have a hazy, smokey atmosphere and the production seems to push bong-smoke out of the speakers and thus making "Black Masses" their most atmospheric recording ever. Black Masses starts with the title track which is like an awakening of a beast, it slowly comes to life before unleashing one of those riffs that only Jus Oborn can produce. There is a real intense tension connected with this track, a nervous, drug induced kind of panic attack made into a song. With this song and the album really, they seem to blending the history of heavy music into something pure Electric Wizard. This title track is powerfully hypnotic, a style that they have perfected over the years but I don't think they have been as right on the nuggets like they are here. Lyrically they still have that occult, psychedelic vibe about them and Oborn's voice still has that distinctive, echoing vocal that seems to be coming up from underneath the music and not over the top of it. A killer opening track that is one of Electric Wizard's best ever tunes. The already leaked "Venus In Furs" is another highlight that sounds better here than on the previously leaked version, the hallucinatory guitar work along with Tas and Rutter's locked in rhythm section is a pleasure to listen to, Electric Wizard have never sounded so tight. They still have that big fat sound they are famous for but in this song it's particularly heavy as they have changed the muddy bass of the past and replaced it with a thicker, more direct warm sound. Rutter's drums are still have a basic, repetitive feel but they sound bigger and more vibrant than they ever did on the past EW recordings. Keeping things moving nicely, "Night Child" follows sounding very sinister and haunting, the general vibe here is like being followed late at night by a Jack The Ripper kind of character so the atmosphere is one of pure fear and paranoia. This leads into the evil psychedelia of "Patterns of Evil" which has a more N.W.O.B.H.M vibe about it which melts into a 10 minute crawling sludge-fest titled "Satyr IX". This is a major highlight as riffs dissolve into one another and the piece burns with an ugly kind of slow groove. The N.W.O.B.H.M and Sabbathian influences return again for "Turn Off Your Mind" and the sound is surprisingly clean and crisp for an Electric Wizard song. "Scorpio Curse" is however a total brain-destroying psychedelic doom feast for the ears and is the ideal opening song for any live Electric Wizard show as it has an anthemic quality to it. If there is a weak point to "Black Masses", it doesn't occur to the last track "Crypt Of Drugula". This sparse 8 minute instrumental is centered around noise and more fuzzy sonic riffs but really doesn't go anywhere but if the track is supposed to be like coming down after a heavy acid trip, it still works. It still doesn't affect the overall rating I will give this album though as the rest of it is so good, who in the hell could care about one little mis-step. When it all comes to a close, you are left feeling drained by this nightmarish example of how to make atmospheric Doom Metal into something truly distinctive. While there is many bands that copy the EW style and sound, very few if any can match the chemistry that Jus Oborn, Tas, Shaun Rutter and (the still incredibly stunning) Liz Buckingham has managed to achieved over the years. They are really perfection personified and "Black Masses" is their most ambitious album to date in many ways. They have progressed in ways that will please 90% of their fans and if you are in that 10% that still thinks they will never match the likes of "Dopethrone", you need to put down the bong and think again. THE CONCLUSION: If you thought "Witchcult Today" was too polished, then you will love "Black Masses". It's an more ugly, sleazy and dirty album than "Witchcult Today" but it hasn't got the sickness that gets spewed at you during "Dopethrone". In a way it takes all the elements from all their albums, melts them down and turns them into something different again. It's a nasty, angry beast of a recording that oozes sleaze and reeks of satanic nightmares and drug induced apocalyptic visions. I am very excited to say that Electric Wizard are still leaders in their field of Stoner, Psychedelic Doom and mark my words this will be THE album of 2010 for a lot of fans and critics alike. Personally I put it just behind "Dopethrone" and "Come My Fanatics" and above all their other releases, this is way beyond my expectations because I honestly thought their best years were now behind them, guess I was wrong. Electric Wizard are back and as crushing as ever, this was due for a North American release on November the first but rumors say it could be delayed or least the 2LP vinyl version will be and that will be the version I will be grabbing when it's released. Also it's already leaked a couple of times but Rise Above Records or someone is keeping tabs on that as the downloads disappear as quickly as they arrive. Rise Above has no need to worry though, this will sell in huge numbers and I predict it will be their most successful album ever. Electric Wizard proves once again they are still the masters of doom..... 9.7/10

tsl: Просто чумовой трек на майспейсе! Тоже, наверное, предзакажу
Honcho: tsl пишет: Просто чумовой трек на майспейсе! Там их два, и оба чумовые
fominator: жду
Honcho: Ёпт, да все ждут, уже сил нету ждать
Toshnotvor: "Black Mass" клевый трек. По первому впечатлению от старых визардов, злых как сто чертей, ультра-тяжелых и жутко-грязных, осталось не так много, хоть и немало. Оборн поет почище даже, чем на "Witchcult Today", вообще несколько спейс-роком отдает. Альбом дико жду, мне кажется что он мне очень понравится.
sssnot: Трэки на майспэйсе отличные. Жаль что выход альбома откладывается
Vodkasatan: http://www.riseaboverecords.com/products/view/324 бля, можт завтра всетки бует на концерте

W23ZoMb: !!!Electric Wizard - Black Masses (2010) в сети !!!
Steeler: На фанкисоулз и медиабуме лежит Ну почему в сутках не 48 часов, и хочеца спать?
Honcho: ООО ддаааааа детка, оно вышло !!!!111111oneoneone
Nazi Driver: Ну что,альбом понравился Не фанатики,конечно,но всё на уровне.После первого прослушивания показался ближе по звучанию к лет ас прей - довольно-таки грязно,вокал(не такой ноющий,как на последних двух альбомах,что радует) хорошо утоплен среди гитар. В общем,слушать буду,в отличие от,опять же,последних двух альбомов.
Marshall: сел, послушал, нихера не понял в целом неплохое впечатление, надо бы врубиться поконкретнее, но учитывая то, что я в Witchcult почти два года впирался, то процесс может затянуться надолго единственное что жду FLAC с нетерпением, а то я этому рипу не очень доверяю
ORION WARNING: Качаю, ща буду слушать
Vincent Is a Parasit: ahuenno. найтчайлд, венера, турн оф е майнд, скорпио корс, и конечно же блэк масс жарево парево.
Глюкенштейн: Оправдания ожидались. То есть ожидания оправдались. "Black Masses" - зашибительский альбом! Так он выходит с двумя вариантами обложек?
fominator: чё-то lossless нигде нет
Honcho: Вот он, мой альбом года Как и ожидалось, БОМБА
Droid: Мне одному The Nightchild чего-то напоминает?
Blondy Green: Да, писали альбом явно по укурке. Круто, что сказать. Надо будет еще гонять, ибо не во все темы въехал
